bb.q Chicken

KFC or CFC (Corean Fwied Cheekan) has been explosive in this one horse town for the last few years. They have popped up faster than zits on a dirty hooker's ass. The Pouch has sampled many of them and most of them has given me explosive IBS-D... No, not the crackne from the dirty ho's ass but the dismal CFC that some places dishes out. But those little trivial things have never deter the Pouch from trying all of them. Shit, if a chicken had three heads I will eat that fried mother-Ghidorah-clucker. I have never met a chickenhead that I didn't liked. The popularity in CFC is how they prepare it... It's double fried to seal in the mega juiciness inside and the ultra crispy crust outside.

bb.q Chicken is a Korean chain that claims to have 1,000's of locations all over the world but in the USA, they are mainly in CA, IL, NY and a bunch peppered in other states. But what does "bb.q" stand for? Supposedly, Best of the Best Quality. And they partnered up with BTS to get young pussy to eat fried chicken. Now, I'm curious since BTS is involved... I know, I know what y'all are asking, why haven't the obeast underlord tried this joint yet? That's because the one on Buford Hwy looked dirtier than a Krispy Krunchy Chicken in a gas station in the ghetto. So, they have a few locations in Atlanta- Duluth, Suwanee, Johns Creek and Doraville... But they just opened a brand new location in Decatur in the old cursed space that once was Pho King which was fuh-king awful and before that a Taziki Mediterranean Cafe which was a tacky snoozefest. 

Somehow the fowl gods sucka'd another schmuck into taking the doomed space with another franchise. But at least this franchise serves fwied cheekan... The Pouch is totally OK with that... But wait up, not so fast... I drove by this new Decatur location a couple of times and every time it was dead as fuck empty during prime times. If the space is cursed, I don't want to be disappointed with cursed CFC... So, I'm going to the dirty one on Buford Hwy since I know it will be run by real life Coreans. Let's see if they live up to the Pouch's standards... Which is pretty damn low rent.

Half & Half Whole Chicken, Golden Original and Hot Spicy, $26. Boneless Lunch Combo, Honey Garlic, $12. This was an impressive spread... Visually. But how does it taste? Let's start with the boneless lunch combo first and work our way to the main event...

Boneless Lunch Combo, Honey Garlic, Fries. I have never been into the "boneless" wings gimmick... Let's face it, they're just fucking abstract cheekan pieces, neither nuggets nor tenders. They're like cheekan bits stuck in purgatory. The honey garlic glaze seems to coat all the pieces evenly. Took a bite, hmmm, not too shabby. The thin crust coating was crispy and it was well seasoned but the most important thing was that it was juicy inside. I must admit, these were pretty tasty. Would I get them again... Eh, only if someone else is paying for them.

If  you want a whole chicken, there is only two sauces available for it- Secret Spicy or Hot Spicy. All the other sauce flavors are only available with the boneless at this location (seems like the other locations offer more flavors with the whole chickens). What a crock of shit deal is that? How fucking chintzy can you be... C'mon, gae sae kki, they're just factory made sauces in buckets, give the cheekanheads options. But let's see how good (or bad) the cheekan is anyways...

Half Golden Original. Holy BTS, Fatman... It almost looks like Krispy Krunchy Chicken! Did they just Uber Eats this shit from KKC? I gotta admit, it looks pretty good. I love the thin crispy crust. I hate thick crusts, it's like the heavy breading is there to cover up the shitty chicken and lackluster flavor. Took a bite, lots of crunch and the meat was moist and juicy and flavorful. Goddamn, it was pretty tasty... And I didn't even put hot sauce on it. OK, let's move on to the main event...

Half Hot Spicy. What's wrong with this picture? This must be their hot spicy tiger stripe camouflage sauce. Jesus Christ, how cheap can you fucking be with the sauce that you rather pump pump squirt it on than toss it... That's what she said. This was a total let down visually but the golden original was tasty enough that maybe a hint of the hot spicy will bring it to the next level? Guess again, hangmun... The hot spicy was barely even medium hot but the viscosity and color were spot-on. I just wished they fully coated all the pieces with it... Stingy mofos. The crust was crispy and the meat was moist, juicy and flavorful, once, again. I should have asked them for more sauce on the side but the young broad working the counter was more interested in playing on her phone than working. I don't think any more hot spicy sauce would have made a meaningful difference. I shoulda threw the bones on the floor and take pics for the @randomchickenbonesofatl on IG...

It's a good Corean fwied cheekan, but Choong Man Chicken is still my go to for CFC. But guess who still has my cheekan lips, heart, Pouch and ass... The best fwied cheekan in all the lands, Popeyes. Those muddafukkaz got their shit down pat... Or is that down pouch.

Cozy Coop

Anytime a new cheekan shack opens up, the Pouch can feel it like a fat twin can feel the other's IBS-D pain across the country. This new chicken spot opened in November and I felt the force of them frying chicken. The only reason why I didn't get there on opening day is because they are located in upstate GA, some bumpkin area known as Marietta... I call it Scarietta because they still lynch obeast slobs like me. But no matter how scary it is, that is still a long way to drive to be disappointed when Popeyes is only 5 minzies away. But the Pouch will always risk pouch and limb to report all that's fit to eat for it's one fan and only reader of this preposterous food blog... Especially, when it comes to fwied cheekan. I'm already facing the prospect of untimely death every time I eat a box of Popeyes in one sitting, a few hillbilly mossbacks in a jacked up Dodge Ram 2500 blowing black diesel smoke ain't gonna scare this fat fuck... That thick smoke will act like a Ninja smoke bomb to help the Pouch elude the redneck syndicate known as the Marietta Mullets. 

Enough of the dueling banjos... Let's see what the fuss is about their cheekan and... Git 'Er Dun! 

Crispy Chicken Sandwich, Cozy sauce, brioche, pickles, $5.99. Looks like a Tennessee Top Hat doesn't it? Yes, I cannot get the mullet theme out of my tiny pea brain. It's a nice looking cheekan sando but seems a bit drippy. The crust looks thin and crispy. Good amount of pickles and the brioche bun seems to be in good order... And could double as a North Carolina Neck Warmer in this ridiculous Atl-arctic weather.

Look at that Cozy sauce cascading down the side like a Kentucky Waterfall. The white breast meat patty was a bit thin and I was right with the thin crispy crust which is preferred. It was a tasty cheekan sando but nothing really that crave-worthy that I would battle the Ape Drape clan for another. 

Rib Meal, 1/2 rack, fried okra, cornbread, $13.95. Add 2 piece chicken (+$1.98). At first, I thought it was kinda weird to see a glazed Beaver Paddle on the plastic tray... Did some lumberjack get their flowing locks cut off in an epic battle out back? Then I realized it was just plain old ribs. I always thought it was kinda strange to see ribs at a chicken shack but after seeing this, it kinda makes sense. First off, the fried okra were pretty damn good, they fried them fresh, not from a brown bag. You have a choice of cornbread or a biscuit, the teenager at the counter said to get the cornbread since she's the in-house culinarian. It's a big square and it was a bit dry and mealy but serviceable enough. The ribs were tender enough and a tad dry but it did have a faint hint of a pink smoke ring... Very surprising since I thought they would poach them off in a Wisconsin Waterfall of liquid smoke and throw it in the oven to finish. Would I go back for them? Fuck no, unless you possess a Canadian Passport. OK, let's get a closer look at the main event... 

Dark meat cheekan is always the most flavorful. Their cheekan is pretty good. Very crispy thin crust, a tad salty but I drowned it with hot sauce so it didn't really matter. The cheekan was moist and juicy. It's a respectable fwied cheekan but not a destination... Some may consider it a Missouri Compromise when comparing the fwied cheekan at Walmart. I don't know how Popeyes does it so consistently but they are still the king of all fast casual fried chicken. 

If you're cruising around in your IROC-Z sporting a wife beater and a El Camino Headrest, stop by here if you're craving some decently priced fried chicken, but just watch out for the Walmart Wolverines on line in the drive-thru slinging mud around back. It may look like business in the front, but there's a party in the back... Don't forget to bring your Mississippi Mudflaps.

Bistro Niko

What the fuck happened to this place? I haven't been back in many many moons but the few times I have eaten here it was totally acceptable. Is it authentic French? Fuck no. But they were consistent and their techniques were totally satisfactory. I had an itch to see how they were doing these days after how the VID destroyed so many restos and they were still standing due to their solid financial backing from the Buckhead Life Restaurant Group. The VID ordeal created chaos in the service industry across the nation. A huge percentage of small mom & pop shops were destroyed thanks to shutdowns and government mandates... Only the big resto groups with unlimited funding survived while secretly modifying their menus smaller with cheaper ingredients and increasing the prices to keep their profit margins in check... Labeling cheap menu items with fancy names and the oblivious public didn't even bat an eye. Like P.T. Barnum famously said, "There's a sucker born with every bite." I know what y'all are thinking, that's not what the greatest showman said and y'all are right. I'm talking about Pouch Trough Barnum, the infamous fatman that will eat anything and then cry itself to sleep.

Let's get this over with quickly... Just like pulling off a band-aid. 

Traditional Country Pate, "Chef Gary's specialty", BN pickled vegetables, grain mustard, baguette toast. Gary's pate itself didn't look too bad. It had nice color, consistency and density. The flavor was fine, nothing that you would remember after they take the plate away. The grain mustard and cornichons aka "pickled vegetables" were spot on, what a stretch that was. The baguette looked ridiculous. Look at it, there's two normal slices and then some half midget pieces... And it was stale. This whole dish was forgettable. No Gnews is good Gnews with Gary Gnu.

Ahi Tuna Tartare, hass avocado, pickled ginger, soy. Why the fuck did I even order this... I already knew it would be a mess. Look at that plating... No passion whatsoever. Wait, is that a raw meatball or a rotten beet? Where's the avocado and ginger? They thought they could hide it with a sprinkle of micro-greens on top. And that nasty soy... What did they mix it with? Boogers? At least the baguette slices looked uniform in size... Wait, I spoke too soon... They were stale as well. I hate throwing tuna away but it was pretty bad. Ate half of it and pushed it to the side.

Steak Tartare Parisienne, watercress, toast points. Did they just redeemed themselves with this pretty good looking tartare? Almost... Those toast points were bright white like Baba Booey's horse teeth. They were stale and hard as a fucking marble countertop. I tried to snap one in half and it made me look weak like Napoleon Dynamite. They could use these fucking tiles to repair a stucco wall. The tartare was actually pretty good, a little bit too moist, but still decent. It was missing the yolk but maybe they mixed it in already since it was so "wet". So, I asked for some fresh toast points. They said they were all out and they brought out the same stale baguette but instead of slicing them into slices, they literally ripped it apart with their hands. It looked like a pile of rubble. I have never seen such a vulgar display of power! Someone must be having a bad day. I ate the tartare with a spoon like a schmuck eating pudding alone in the corner of a school yard. That watercress was useless with this, they shoulda paired it with cornichons or fries at least. 

Oysters on Ice, Bluepoint (LI Sound) and Barnstable (Cape Cod). Can they fuck up the oysters as well? Thank god, that's a fucking no... Unless they dropped it on the floor and put it back in the shell. Shit, rinse it at least... Even you can't hide pubic curlies and dirt under a sea snot. But luckily, these did look pretty good and plump. And they were fine. Thank baby Jesus they didn't have to cook these. 

Rillettes de Saumon, cold smoked fresh salmon spread, toast points. What the fuck is in that jar? Sea Monkeys? Whatever was in that jar was no spread. It looked like what you would fine inside a garbage disposal. It was big shards of pink bits with white smegma... Wait, was this a sample from the labiaplasty center next door? And this was just a gift that keeps on giving... Look what's hiding behind that jar... The same stucco tile toast points. Still hard as a fucking prison shiv. The only good thing about this was that it was in a jar that you could close up to stop the stench and avoid contracting salmonella.

Skate Wing, brown butter, nonpareil capers, spinach, steamed fingerling potatoes. Wait a minzies, am I still in the same place? This looked too good to be coming out of the same kitchen. The golden brown color was spot on even though the presentation wasn't perfect. A couple of ripped strands doesn't bother me if it tasted is good... And by the grace of the almighty marsupial gods, this tasted pretty good. The brown butter needed a little more heat but the capers made up for it. I don't even remember eating any spinach but the unseasoned potatoes were merely just filler. The skate wing was the star of this dish. Thank goodness this was the last dish, I don't think I can take anymore of their savage punches of crap to the pouch. 

I don't know what happened to this place but the entire joint just looked worn out all over... From the bartenders, the front of the house staff to the kitchen crew. They all just gave up. No wonder the service industry is starving for competent workers. They are just hiring anyone with a heartbeat. The senior citizen bartender looked like his retirement portfolio crashed to zero and he had to take a job again... That poor bastard. There was zero urgency to do anything. I almost walked out after sitting at the bar for 15 minutes without even a word from him. Don't worry lazy grandpa, I won't be back ever again...

Flush.

Boho 115

The Square Pub has been around for about a decade in Decatur square until their demise in March 2020... Obviously, due to the VID, rising rents, parking issues and whatever the fuck else the Decatur dictators and overlords deem beneficial to them personally at the expense of small business owners. I was never a big fan of their menu but people to seemed to like it enough to keep it in business all those years. The primo location probably had a big part in their longevity. The space sat empty for a good bit until Boho 115 (a fish camp+bar) opened in February of 2022 with their seafood focused menu with nods from Spain, Argentina, Mexico and Mediterranean influences. Ceviche, octopus, shrimp cocktails, tacos, tostadas, roasted whole fish, jerk chicken, steak, fried seafood blank the menu but the most interesting items on the menu are the canned goods by the infamous Espinaler from Spain. 

Most gringos look down on canned fish and seafood just like with canned meats ie: SPAM. They think it's for poor people with no taste. But on the contrary, canned goods are prized items around the world. These suckaz are the ones with the palate of a billy goat. Some of the most delicious things are found inside cans... I dated this one broad with huge cans and I never ran out of milk and I cried like a baby when she broke up with me... Then my mom said you're 18 now, it's time to leave the house. Enough about my shady upbringing... We want to see food porn, Pouch! And we want to hear what colorful things you will say about it.

You axed for it, you got it...

Ceviche de Marisco, shrimp, octopus, mahi. This looks pretty good. I like the two toasted tortillas to scoop up the ceviche. Gotta admit everything in this dog bowl was quite tender and not chewy. It was seasoned well and not too acidic nor oily. Tis was a good snack for the Pouch.

Razor Clams (Trimmed), grilled with lemon. Of all the Espinaler canned goods on the menu, the razor clams is a no brainer. They said it can be grilled with lemon... Something was lost in translation because they grilled the lemon instead of the clams. Either way, the razor clams were dericious with or without the grilled lemon. It seems like the portion should be larger from the tin... I get the feeling the guy in the short shorts prepping it was taste testing a few of my razor clams or maybe he thought they were pizzle... Shiiiit, I know I fucking would with the garbage pay for the cooks these days. I remember the days of yore when I worked at the infamous 21 Club in NYC, I ate so many goddamn D'Artagnan foie gras lobes and Osetra caviar by the spoonfuls because the pay was total shit. I even dusted a whole lobe of foie with Wondra and deep fried the whole damn thing in the deep fryer. It was fucking dericious.

Gallega Octopus, spanish paprika, olive oil, sea salt, piquillo mash. I was pleasantly surprised by the nice meaty bite size octopus which well dressed with the paprika and oil. Every bite was flavorful and the octopus was tender which takes a skillful hand to not over cook it. The mild piquillo mash was fine but really didn't have that much flavor to it and didn't add any more value to this dish. Shit, just give me a few more pieces of juicy octopussy.

Fried Shrimp, classic cocktail sauce, spicy remoulade. Who the fuck would order this ubiquitous side show... This fat fuck sure didn't. Leave it to the gringo at the table to order the most tiresome snack ever... OK, if this was coconut skrimpz or sweet shrimp with the fried heads then I would congratulate the roundeye for ordering correctly. Look, it was fwied shwimpz... I still ate it because I'm a grotesque glutton. Have y'all ever seen a fatso push away food... Ever? No, I didn't think so.

 

I like this place. It's better than that local yokel dump before it. This was actually my second visit since my first visit was all about boozing at the bar. I would go back to try out more of the Espinaler tins...

Hai Authentic Chinese Revisit

It still surprises me that a pretty authentic Szechuan joint in Decatur is still doing steady business. This is a good thing. It means that the locals are actually developing a palate... Or they're just ordering the Americanized Chino dishes, they do have Mongolian beef and General Tso's cheekan on the menu. But either way, I'm good with it as long as they are still pumping out the spicy Szechuan grub. It's been awhile since I have graced their space with my presence, time to make a revisit. I hope I can still fit through the doors.  

Let's get right to it, more eating and less talking, Pouch...

Dry Fried Eggplant. They have totally skimped on this classic dish. They are cutting the eggplant like French fries nowadays. Smaller and thinner will cook faster but the portion are grossly smaller. They still taste good but not as good with the thicker cuts.

Spicy Beef Tendon. Pretty good portion and tasted like it should but it needs to be spicier. A lot more spicier for this fat slob's high temp facehole.

Wuhan Sesame Noodles. First time trying this dish because someone else at the table wanted it. The noodles are good but it needs a lot more sesame sauce and chili oil for the full flavor. It was pretty muted as is.

Bamboo Flounder Fish. Perfect size fish nuggets. Crispy and hot on the outside, flakey and moist on the inside. Just a great little snack.

Furong Chicken. Like with the noodles, this was a first for me. It just sounds so plain Jane on the menu but the chicken was silky and velvety. It's a nice dish if you have roundeyes at the table. It's safe.

Dry Fried String Beans. This dish is always so damn good. You just can't eat one.

Szechuan Basil Chicken. Guess who order this dish with the one gwailo at the table? They stir fry this and then wrap it in foil... Is that because they know no one eats this and is ready to take out. This dish is so boring and visually unappetizing. And this is coming from a fat fuck who loves anything with cheekan. I had a couple bites and the gwailo took it home. Naturally.

Dragon Eggplant in Spicy Garlic Sauce. This is one of the best looking veggie dish in all the lands. They should put this on a stick like that Tornado potato at state fairs. Not only is this good looking, it's also good tasting. Always a great crowd pleaser.
 

This place is still a great addition in an area where there is no shortage of Indian grub. Finding a good Chino spot in Decatur is a difficult task. Keep up the good work, dai goh!

Hiro Ramen & Tea Bar

I came here when it first opened and the ramen was decent if you needed a quick fix. The bubble teas sucked. I never wrote it up because I forgot about it 5 minutes after leaving the joint. So, it was about time to see what they are up to these days. Walked in and the entire place was redesigned. I had to do a double take to see if I walked into the right place. Sure enough it was but it was under new management. There were no customers in the entire place... Rut Roh. But it was cold and rainy day which called for a steaming bowl of noods. Let's see if the ramen will satisfy the fat one or will it just be a steaming bowl of shit...

Tonkotsu Ramen. It took like 30 minzies for 2 bowls of ramen to come out. But when it did, the Pouch immediately sensed something was amiss... The Pouch's Spidey sense has never failed the obeast one. When it starts tingling, you just gotta be warned. So, this bowl came out and even before the server had a chance to make contact with the table, I knew something wasn't right. The smell and color were dead giveaways. The first thing I always do with a bowl of noods is taste the broth. I tasted the tonkotsu broth and it had no flavor whatsoever. It was thin and watery. It tasted like dirty dish water. I have instant tonkotsu ramen at home and the powder soup base is 100 times creamier and thicker than this slop. There is no fucking way I was gonna eat this when they are charging $15. I just pushed it aside and waited for server to come back... Waited and waited, nothing. I got up and asked the front desk girl for the server. She asked what was wrong and I said the tonkotsu is awful. They were nice about it and took it away. But she did say that they were under new management and chef and they were still working things out. Working things out? If you want to use me as a guinea pig to test your shitty ramen then you shouldn't be charging for it. Shit, I wouldn't eat this if it was free... Unless you're a Yelper. I got the miso ramen as a replacement. Not really what I wanted but they had no other decent options.

Shoyu Ramen. The Pouchette got the shoyu ramen but the broth didn't look any better. It looked like just water down soy sauce. Tasted it and it literally had no evidence of the broth base either pork or chicken. Don't bother looking for the deep, complex, and high umami flavor. It was literally just water, sugar, MSG and soy sauce. The funny thing is that hard-boiled soy egg was so white even with it sitting in the soy sauce soup. The paper thin chashu slices were acceptable. I was surprised that they even had menma in there. Shoyu usually calls for curly ramen noodles but they can't even get that right. But the straight ramen noodles themselves were actually pretty good. This bowl's composition was not correct at all.

Miso Ramen. This replacement bowl came out in like 2 minutes, all I could think of was how many people spit in it, hmmm. All that brown in a white bowl only reminds me of one thing... Flush. Sadly, it will probably look exactly the same coming out. Tasted the miso broth... Eh, it was better than the tonkotsu at least. And that's not saying much. It's like replacing a slice of Cici's pizza with one from Little Caesar's, it's a parallel move, you're not moving up any higher in the food chain. First off, the broth was warm not hot. The soy egg was not fully hard at least... I don't think anyone would get fully hard eating this snatch, not even a blood flow. The noodles were good like with the shoyu. They are using the same noodle for everything. The chashu looks a little suspect to me... Let's take a closer look...

What. Da. Fuck. This may be the most comical short cut I have ever seen. They just charred the top half with a flame thrower. It made it bitter tasting. They should just call all their ramen bowls- Murphy's Law ramen. 

I will never come back to this dump. Based on the amount of people (0) inside the place they will probably change management again by the end of the year. Or better yet just close it down and let someone else with talent have the space. But who knows they may stay around forever like that god awful Brew and Bird at the other end. How is that place still in business with no business... It must a cartel front to launder money. Wait, are we in the Ozarks? Oh, I meant Lake Lanier.

The Bite of Korea (BOK)

BOK have been doing a bunch of pop-ups over the years around Atlanta and now, they finally got a brick and mortar location. The location they selected was quite surprising to me... Tucker. Really? The palate of the demographics there aren't exactly that adventurous. But nonetheless, I applaud them for doing something not in midtown, westside, EAV, Inman Park, Grant Park, etc etc... Those areas have been so saturated with so much garbage that I avoid them like the Golden Corral. People always ask me, Pouch, have you been to any of the new places that opened up in Atlanta? I always tell them, Fuck No! Have you read any of the menus? It's totally shit. Pigs with lipstick. They are using the cheapest ingredients they can find and gussying them up to make the dishes look and sound fancy on the menu while charging highly marked up prices. Don't give me that shit about high food cost and supply chain issues anymore... The pandemic has been declared by the Big Guy over months ago. C'mon, man, the economy is strong as hell! Wow, it really was just transitory... Suckaz. 

OK, let's get back on track to what's most important here... The Corean vittles in Tucker. When I walked in, I was pleasantly surprised that it was a real restaurant, not some self serve counter service, fast casual joint. They had real tables, servers and a bar! I was giddy as a school girl until they put me at a tiny table in a dark corner like some dive bar's toilet stall. I'm like wait a minute here, my auntie, Rosa Parks, fought for my civil rights to not sit in a latrine while dining on overpriced food. I asked if the bar was opened for dining and they said yes. I grabbed the menu and glass of water and race walked my fat ass over there, I haven't moved that fast since Popeyes announced last call. 

The place was about half full but the kitchen was in the weeds... I thought about leaving but since, they just opened, I'll give them a chance and keep it simple. Let's take a first look...

Banchan, soybean sprouts, kimchi, spicy cucumber. They were actually pretty decent. The kimchi was the best out of the three... And they were nice enough to give you 2 or 3 more servings upon request. Bar service is always the best.

Sodduk Skewer, flash fried rice cake with pork sausage, gochujang sauce, honey mustard drizzle, $6. This was a cute street food snack. It looks so plasticky but it was actually quite tasty. I would get this again. But the cheese corn for $7 I saw on another table is just a sad joke they keep playing on the roundeyes... And they keep coming back for more. Suckaz!

Korean Fried Chicken (boneless), yangnyeom (sweet & spicy) glazed KFC, double fried for extra crispiness, pickled radish and rice, $17. When this came out, I was like did the Colonel or the General make this? KFC or GTC? For $17, this was pretty much a rip off when you could go to any Chino hole in the wall and get their General Tso's or Sesame cheekan lunch/dinner combo with flied lice, eggroll, wing and soup for under $10. It tasted fine but nothing that will get this fat cheekanhead to come back for another serving. The pickled radish were weak, needed more sugar, vinegar and time. Jesus, thinking about it now, I coulda got a spicy 10 piece box of Popeyes, a spicy cheekan sando and their new blackened cheekan sando for the same price. Wait, if they start doing a BONE-IN KFC, then I would totally go back and get sucker punched in the nads, again. The shit I do for my one fan...

Japchae Noodle & Bulgogi Plate, traditional pan fried glass noodles with sauteed veggies, bulgogi ribeye steak, onions, carrots and rice, $17. WTF is this? OK, the japchae looked acceptable but what's with the color of the bulgogi... Did they steam it or boil it? It looked like the skin on a Mexican hairless after you throw boiling water on it. Look at that, it had no color, no marinade, not even a squirt of sauce afterwards to trick me into thinking it was made correctly. The more I look at that bulgogi, it reminds me of the toxic waste thug in Robocop. The japchae was the only thing that was edible and tasted good. Skip the bulgogi, keep the rice, it had more flavor.

I like that they have a brick and mortar spot in the fast developing area of Tucker and I hope they do well but they need to fix a few things before they can sucker me back there. Antico just opened their newest location in the same strip mall... I swore I would never go back to that shithole but that's another pending review...
